Dec. 2025

If you are a fan of Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, this one is an absolute must-play. Some of the most popular tropes from the Cthulhu Mythos are referenced here (ironically not Cthulhu though). Nyarlahotep, check. Azathoth, check. Shub-Niggurath, check. The catacombs of Nephren-Ka, check. The main enemy creatures are otherworldly in the same vein. Mechanically, the game seems to be heavily inspired by recent Resident Evil games, specifically the recent RE2, RE3 or RE4 games. Which is ironic considering that the first few RE games were actually inspired by the original DOS Alone In The Dark game from 1993. Regardless, it makes this game accessible and easy to get into. Like the original 1993 game, you can choose to play as either Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, both characters have slightly different encounters and paths, making it feasible to replay the game as the other character once you finish as any one of them. This game is definitely a return to form for the Alone In The Dark series and I hope we get more sequels in this same vein.

Excellent game unfairly bashed for not being action oriented enough for modern gamers. So sad to see the study closed because it did not sell enough. Despite being far better than new Resident Evil blockbusters. This is why we can’t have nice things.

July 2025

I’m honestly baffled by how harshly Alone in the Dark was received. Yes, it launched with some performance issues, but the level of backlash felt disproportionate. This was a heartfelt revival with a strong story, fantastic horror atmosphere, and clear love for the source material. It’s sad that the negative reception overshadowed its strengths and ultimately led to the studio shutting down. If you're into games like Resident Evil, this is a hidden gem—a solid 8/10 in my book.

June 2025

I don’t understand why journalists destroyed this game As someone who enjoyed both the Shutter Island film and the original novel, I was pleasantly surprised at how much this Alone in the Dark reminded me of that kind of atmospheric storytelling. The game blends psychological mystery with classic horror in a way that immediately evokes Resident Evil (especially the first one) and Silent Hill (most closely, SH4: The Room). The atmosphere and visual design are genuinely impressive. Many of the rooms and interiors are so beautifully crafted that I often found myself stopping just to look around. The acting is excellent, cutscenes are engaging, sometimes even humorous, and the characters feel alive. Combat? Perfectly fine. It’s not groundbreaking, but it's far from bad. I really don’t get the hate. Same goes for the camera, yes, a few awkward moments on staircases, but nothing game-breaking. And I say this as someone who hates clunky mechanics. I didn’t feel frustrated once during my playthrough. I finished the game in about three days and was completely absorbed. The horror elements work, the tension, the unease, the creepy undertones. It’s a great detective-style adventure with clear Lovecraftian influences. I grabbed it on sale for $15 and honestly, it’s a steal at that price. Totally worth it. I really don’t get the negativity from reviewers and so-called critics, maybe it’s time for them to take a break and deal with their gaming burnout. That said, the one real issue the game has is stuttering. Performance hiccups can be annoying, and at times they really break the immersion. If you're into slow-burn mystery horror with solid presentation, give it a shot. You might just enjoy it more than you expect.

April 2025

I really liked this game. The environments are beautiful and spooky. It seemed short because I finished it in 14 hours and I'm a methodical slow player but actually I am playing again as the Detective so I guess it could be a longer game. *Played both characters 22.6 hours.
